Chapter 361 - Chapter 352: Sacrificial Ceremony

Bei Bei looked at Elder Xuan and said, "If we were to truly pursue the responsible parties for this matter, then I, as the decision-maker, am the one most at fault. Elder Xuan, I'm not taking the blame for them, nor will I try to lessen their responsibility. But no matter how this event began and progressed, I was the decision-maker. The ultimate outcome far exceeded our expectations and indeed resulted in a disaster that affected countless lives. None of us wished to see this happen. Although the Sun Moon Empire is our enemy, civilians are innocent. We are responsible for this incident. Aside from Yuhao, we in the Tang Sect will collectively withdraw from the Inner Court. In this way, if anyone brings up this matter in the future, we in the Tang Sect will take full responsibility and will absolutely not let it affect the reputation of the academy."
